*When you do not attribute innumerably multiple things to a single source, then—besides having to attribute a single thing to innumerably multiple things—you will have as many difficulties as the number of those things. So, the extraordinary facility in coming into existence of so many species distributed all over the world comes from the Oneness of their Creator. (12)
Through their existence, creatures testify to the necessary existence of the Necessarily Existent Being, and through their disappearance together with the causes of their existence and through their being followed by new ones, bear witness to His Permanence, Eternity and Oneness. (13)
*From tiniest particles to planets and galaxies and from individual beings to suns and stars, everything, in the tongue of its essential helplessness, points to the necessary existence of its Creator. In the tongue of its functions and tasks which, despite its helplessness, each is charged with in the general order of creation, it indicates the Oneness of its Creator. (14)
The perfection of the works we observe in the universe bears witness to the perfection of the activity behind them. The perfection of the activity evidently bears witness to the perfection of the titles of the one who does those works. The perfection of the titles necessarily testifies to the perfection of the qualities or attributes. For, as is known, names or titles issue from attributes. The perfection of the attributes reveals the perfection of the essential capacities that are the sources of the attributes. The perfection of the essential capacities testifies for certain to the perfection of the All-Glorious Being. (15)
